00:00When I started the very important excursion into the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:07it was a very important excursion because they can't have a nuclear weapon.
00:10Otherwise, the whole world would get blown up.
00:13We're not going to let that happen.
00:14Not only us, not only the Middle East.
00:16The whole world would have been, it would have been catastrophic.
00:19We had no choice.
00:20We had oil down to less than two, in many places like Iowa.
00:24Oil was down to gasoline.
00:26It was down at numbers that people hadn't seen in years.
00:30$1.85, $1.95.
00:33It passed Tuesday.
00:33I was in Iowa at a stop, and we had $1.95, another one, $1.85 a gallon.
00:42And we'll see those days pretty soon again, based on everything I see, as soon as the war ends.
00:48And I think it's going to end pretty soon.
00:51I don't think they can go much longer.
00:53Yeah, please.
00:54Hasn't you even reached to reopen the strength of harmony?
00:57Well, I don't want to say it has been.
00:58It's sort of open right now.
01:01You know, we have a thing called the blockade headed up by the U.S. Navy, and we control it.
01:06And now we control it, but they can always shoot something.
01:10They always have something or drop a mine.
01:12And if you have one mine sitting out there, you sort of mess things up because people don't want to
01:17take their billion-dollar boats and accidentally get hit by a mine.
01:21But I think we're doing very well.
01:24I just, you know, I'm involved in the negotiation.
01:27I think we're doing fine.
01:28It could be soon.
01:30Yeah.
01:30Mr. President, have you lobbied any of the undecided Republicans who will vote tomorrow on Todd Blanche's nomination?
01:36I will lobby if I need to.
01:39I will lobby very, very diligently because he's outstanding.
01:43He should be good.
01:44I mean, I can't imagine he's as good as there is in the country.
01:47The people have such unbelievable respect for Todd Blanche, so hopefully that won't be necessary.
01:53I spoke to some people.
01:55I did it.
01:56But hopefully it will all work out very well for the country because you're not going to find better than
02:02Todd Blanche.
02:03Will you reach out to Senator Murkowski, Senator Cassidy, for instance?
02:06Let's see if we need anybody.
02:08I'll reach out to whoever I have to.
02:09But anybody voting against him would be doing a great disservice to the country.
